Fool for Waiting

I can’t tell you what it means
When you are here, I am at ease
I don’t blame you when you’re gone
For the sadness in my song
That weight is mine alone, that shadow is my own
The coast is never clear
I’ll wait for morning though, you will arrive
So we can watch that shadow disappear
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
Some say I’m a fool for waiting
They don’t know, this fool doesn’t mind
They tell me «Give it up»
But I won’t ever give it up
Because when the night does fade
I’m alive in the strangest way
Those first few cracks of dawn
Are a taste of what’s to come
And yes I hum and haw about nothing at all
I get lost in fear
But no thief or act of god could take this grin I’ve got
I know you will be here
And if you try to be with me, I will try to get by
Some say I’m a fool for waiting
They don’t know, this fool doesn’t mind
They tell me «Give it up»
But I won’t ever give it up
Ah, they tell me
«So what she’s in your head?
She’s gonna leave again?
What’s gonna happen then?
She’s just enabling»
And there is truth to that
But I ain’t holding back
If you try, try, try
Try to be with me, I will try to get by
Some say I’m a fool for waiting
They don’t know, this fool doesn’t mind
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
Some say I’m a fool for waiting
They don’t know, this fool doesn’t mind
They tell me «Give it up»
But I won’t ever give it up
Oh, and they tell me «Give it up»
But I won’t ever give it up
